Thank you for engaging so deeply with this question and for weaving my quote into such a thoughtful and expansive piece. I’m genuinely grateful that a line from Make an Impact sparked a wider exploration of assumptions, bias, and how they shape our communication. The way you’ve brought together psychological, physiological, and relational perspectives adds real depth to the conversation.
The point you made certainly lit up my curiosity about the topic. You inspired some smart people to engage deeply about what you communicated. False assumptions, whether other people are making them or we are, often short-circuits the purpose of our interactions. It's usually missed as a problem and "cost." Thank you for your comment today. :)
A "wider exploration of assumptions, bias, and how they shape our communication," can help us sense what we are missing and is causing us and other people unnecessary problems.
Thank you for weaving these perspectives together so thoughtfully. What struck me re-reading the piece is how each contributor arrived at the same destination - curiosity over certainty -through different avenues: the body, the pattern, the word. That convergence seems like its own kind of evidence. Glad to have been part of the conversation.
Astute observation, Federico, one that you caught more so and better than I did.
I loved how you phrased it as a "convergence" and how it presented itself as "its own kind of evidence." That's it, now that you say it, "a convergence."
Thank you for being part of a discussion that will hopefully stimulate thinking and help people.
A potent reminder that most “communication issues” aren’t about wording at all - they’re your old stories and assumptions running the show before you’ve truly listened.

"... before you've truly listened."
That's so often it, Gavin. And once you experience and recognize it, on either end, it can be alarming to realize.
Thank you for communicating that point.
